Features: Mechanics is a series textbook for mechanical design, manufacturing, and automation majors in 21st-century universities, published by Huazhong University of Science and Technology. This book is a research outcome of the "Reform of Teaching Content and Curriculum System for Engineering Drawing and Mechanical Foundation Series Courses" project under the Ministry of Education's 21st-century curriculum system and teaching content reform plan. It is an educational textbook for the 21st century. The book takes common mechanisms and mechanism system design as the main line, focusing on the advancedness and practicality of the material, as well as the integration of modern and traditional content. It emphasizes cultivating students' innovative awareness and ability, with special emphasis on the content of mechanism and system scheme design. The book is divided into nine chapters: Chapter 1 introduces the principles of mechanism composition; Chapters 2 to 7 discuss link mechanisms, cam mechanisms, gear mechanisms, gear trains, intermittent motion mechanisms, universal joints, screw mechanisms, and the design methods of composite mechanisms; Chapter 8 elaborates on the motion scheme design of mechanisms and systems, and briefly introduces innovative design principles and innovative thinking methods in conjunction with mechanism scheme design; Chapter 9 covers the dynamic design of mechanisms and systems. This book can serve as a textbook for the Mechanics course in mechanical-related majors at universities, as a teaching reference for related courses in near-mechanical majors, and as a reference for relevant engineering technicians.
